Beware The Fool Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner world is the arena where danger and healing meet. The 'bear robbed of her whelps' is not a creature you confront outside; it is the frenzy that erupts whenever your inner state is robbed of its rightful nourishment—confidence, unity, trust in I AM. When a fool acts from folly, the mind becomes a storm, and that storm can do more damage than a wild beast because it beats at the doors of creation with irrational belief. The I AM, your true awareness, is not frightened by events; it simply observes and thereby changes them. To interpret this verse is to acknowledge that the chief danger lies in the belief in separation, in the impulse to react rather than to revise. Hold fast to the vision of yourself as the steadier, wiser self, and let the folly pass as you dwell in the acknowledged presence of God.
